Foreign Affairs › Re: Stormy Daniels Ordered To Pay Donald Trump $300k By U.S Court by SmartyPants(m): 3:46pm On Mar 22, 2022
tsinzu:
He already won the case at the lower court on merit, it was the lower federal court that ordered her to pay Trump that money. She went to appeal that decision but didn't file the notice of appeal within the thirty day deadline and that's why her appeal was thrown out on technicalities. So you're wrong, Trump won his case on merit, she lost her appeal against his victoy on technicalities and you wonder why lawyers who know the law will deliberately decide to file a notice of appeal outside the legally allowed timeframe. My opinion is that they did it deliberately because they know they have no case.
Even you are wrong. She lost her appeal on the merits. Then she lost on a further appeal on the specifc issue of costs..that is the amount the court ordered her to pay to cover Trumps legal fees...that is separate from the substantive judgment.

olatade:
So let's be clear here, Trump did not win the defamation case on merit.

The court "said it had no jurisdiction over Daniels' appeal of the attorneys' fees issue because she failed to file a notice of appeal within a 30-day deadline of a federal judge granting the fees to Trump."
Be honest. You don't have the slightest clue what you posted do you?

Family › Re: Is Marriage A Distraction In A Person's Pursuit Of Success? by SmartyPants(m): 6:59pm On Mar 19, 2022
GloriousGbola:
That's why I asked if you are a parent.

Because only an empty headed boy of the redpiller genre would subscribe to the notion that successful married man with well brought up children has a wife that can be disregarded as a parasite.

You completely fail to understand that on several marriages, at a point one person may put a lot on hold so the other can go for it.

This may be why their divorce was so acrimonious in the first place.

Anyways let is agree to disagree.
Ironically you have just proved the OP. If children are such a burden, then indeed, marriage with its bequeathment of children is a burden to a man. And if a man's wife's major contribution to his life is to take care of said burden, then a wise man simply preempts the burden by not getting married.

You must have really dug into your trove of meaningless drivel to come up with this.


And this is the typical empty male ego. Has it occurred to you that the wife made sacrifices on her part?

Are you married? Do you have children? If your child is sick and one of you has to stay at home, do you understand a sacrifice is being made?

People like you will cuss out the wife as irresponsible if she also decided to go all out for her career, everyone else be damned.

Going by your inane logic, the father of the Williams sisters or the parents and spouses of any mega successful people did not contribute because none of them have their own success as you call it.

Today, Dr dre has two children who appear to be responsible, who are not tearing up social media, and who are certainly not embarrassing him in public. While he was in the studio, or in the boardroom, or wherever, his wife was making sure the kids were alright. You think you can put in work if your home is in a shambles?

Of course if the kids were stoners or porn stars or affluenza types and the wife was a business success in her own right, you would be dropping the logic of the irresponsible parent.
You're being silly and irrational.

I asked you what her contribution was. You said none of us know. Now you want to turn around and say that her contribution was raising the kids.

If you had said that earlier, my response would have been different. You clearly are just making it up as you go.

And doubly silly for you to hide your lack of points behind the allegation of misogyny. SMH.

Only dre and the ex wife can answer the question.

But the fact is obvious Dr dre did not stagnate, or dwindle while he was married to her. He rose from your narrow definition of success (successful West Coast rap producer) to a world class billionaire while he was married to her.

In the context of this thread was his marriage a distraction?

Maybe if he had married someone else, someone who, like you thought 1996 dre was the peak, the zenith the end all, he too would be a has been today. Who knows?
One of the most fundamental erros in logic, is the causal fallacy. That something happened after another thing does not mean that it happened becasue of it.

The evidence we have is simply that Dr. Dre was always ambitious and was always successful even if not wildly so. That he had a low point in his life does not mean that he would not have recovered.

Now, yes, we do not know if the wife really played a role in his rise.

But on the evidence that the woman herself has not achieved anything notable before, during or after her marriage to Dr. Dre, it seems rather unlikely that she could then be cited as the driver of his growth.

And of course, we know that she is the reason why he will lose his billionaire status.

The conclusion: we cannot say that she was responsible for his growth. We can say that given her own lack of achievement it seems unlikely.

We can also state that she is directly the cause of his greatest-known misfortune.

Given the improbability of her being the reason for his success and the fact that she is the known cause of his misfortune if you were Dr. Dre and you were taken back to 1996, would you get married to this woman again?

Dr dre founded aftermath in 1996 after he left deathrow with nothing

Aftermath struggled for years to make actual hits
The aftermath album didn't make money
The firm album didn't make money

Dre did not get back on his feet until the slim shady lp in 1999

Dres real hammering was when apple bought over beats for 3billion in 2014

So get with the program. His wife was with him during the darkest time in his career, and she was there when he rose to being an actual billionaire. Maybe you should find the memes of dre 1993 vs dre 2015

Of course maybe you think that 'success' of 1993 can compare to where dre is now.

Deathrow is bankrupt and was bought for pennies by snoop, snoop himself is more of a social media celebrity than an actual rich dude, the founder of deathrow is still in jail - whatever the success of that time was tied to is effectively dead.

Where are all the other names from death row? Daz? Kurupt? Jay Flexxx? Suge?
You are narrating history without answering the one simple question.

What did she contribute?

GloriousGbola:
A parasite? Do you know how long they were married?

1996 to 2021

Do you realize the woman was with him and supported him in the dark days when he left deathrow and aftermath was struggling?

The woman was with him all the way from rapper to beats billionaire

How can you call the woman a parasite when Dr dre reached his billionaire status while married to her? How did she hold him back pls?
Dr. Dre was already a made man in 1996. He had been in hip hop for a decade by then - his success can't be traced to her in anyway.

So the question goes back to you, tell us what she contributed.
Romance › Re: Why Do Men Fall Asleep Immediately After Having Sex?? by SmartyPants(m): 8:40am On Mar 19, 2022
Blunttruth:
No . It's oxytocin and endorphins
Don't argue with me young man.

Research using positron emission tomography (PET) scans has previously proven this – and it’s known that when we are relaxed and have released stress, it’s easier to fall to sleep.

But when looking at why men seem to fall asleep faster, it’s actually due to a cocktail of chemicals released when they ejaculate.

These include norepinephrine, serotonin, oxytocin, vasopressin, nitric oxide (NO), and the hormone prolactin.

It’s the release of prolactin that makes a particular difference as this is linked to the feeling of sexual satisfaction, experts say.

Blunttruth:
There's some science behind it..women too fall asleep right after sex if they orgasmed. Sometimes to help her sleep give her an orgasm. When she doesn't fall asleep after sex , know you didn't do it right and probably faked it to get your deadweight offer and massage your ego.
It's the release of prolactin.

Any Police seen protesting should be shot, manhandled, swiftly pursued until hte trips and falls into a dirt gutter. Where he must drink a considerable gallons, and he's made to frog jump in the wake.

Any police personnel seen protesting should be grabbed roughly on the belt and dragged to the station like a goat.

Shots should be fired. Tears gas fired until the police protesters gasp for breathe or better still faint.

Batons Should be used in dealing them heavy blows, while blood trickle from their noses.

Thundering slaps should disfigure their corrupt faces too.

Since this strike talk is gradually gaining momentum, same shits, inhumane, and unwholesome treatments they subjected innocent and poor EndSars protesters to, must be given to them 100%.

During ENDSARS, these rogues suppressed all our strategies and made young Nigerians shed tears all because we were demanding for something beneficial. Something that would greatly change the entire force. Sadly, they couldn't see beyond their nose.

Nobody's protesting.

Tit for tat.

Karma is a fuccking damn sweet bitch
So who exactly is going to do all this for you?
Sports › Re: Abramovich Lost This $175 Million Superyacht To His Billionaire Friend In Poker. by SmartyPants(m): 11:08am On Mar 18, 2022
Aufbauh:
Mr . keep your presumptuous relativity to yourself cus I'd put that into consideration already. Maybe you think it's one village naive guy who hasn't seen money in print and digits that is making up this.

$170m anywhere in the world or to anyone in the world is huge.
The value of money is proportional to what it can purchase. Comparing it to the percentage of his worth is ridiculously naive to say the least.
Do you know that the loss of 0.2% of a billionaire is more huge a loss than a millionaire that lose 10% of his worth?

What you can do with money universally matters more than what it is to you. Simple Economics.
Definitely what you sound like.

If the topic is the value of loss to Mr. Abrahmovich, then the only question is of the subjective/relative value. There is no concept of objective value in economics, btw. Value is inherently a concept of demand - and if you understand that, the point is clear.

But i doubt you'd get it so carry on.

The fact that you can gain a lost item back with less effort or resources doesn't immune you from the immediate pain or shock. That's my point. The logic is simple and straight even to a kid.
$170m loss in a poker isn't a piece meal which is why it's on the news. He might have lost meager stuff in the past which is not News worthy.
Value is relative.

$170 million might be plenty to you and I, and even perhaps to the writer of the article. But it is a mere fraction of value to a man like Roman Abramhimovich who has sunk billions into Chelsea for fun.

The figure lost is not up to 3% of his net worth.

Even having said that, we must then add some context, which is to say that he probably won't spend more than 3 billion for the rest of his life anyway.

The yatch is relatively nothing to him.

These people think say we dey play abi?. So the lives lost on the day of the protest is not important abi, where was the company when people lost their lives in their front? Did the company pay any dime to the bereaved families? Why did the company shut down the lights? Oh they forgot lagosians would forget so soon ba?


This post is not to incite violence. The company feels their loss of revenue is more important than your life, you lagosian reading this. They want to make you know you cant do anything.

They come with pity words, oh the affected staff have been without jobs for 18months to make you feel bad, to make you pity. Why didn't they think of that when they shut down the lights? Did they even care about the affected staff when they danced to the tune of their dictator?

Lol. Please. Come up with another cogent reason.

1st April is fools day.. Make it a memorable one wink Its either you lagosian who is reading this is the fool or the government is..
The suggestion that lights were turned off has been disproved over and over. As an argument built on a false premise, your atgument fails.

The toll mist be collected because there is a debt owed. Lives lost should not be leveraged against a liability owed. How do you leverage peoples' deaths to avoid paying your debts?

Infact, this is a confession.

But now, what he revealed in his "confessional" remarks, is it true or false? Is it possible?

Of course very true and very possible.

You should concern yourself with the feasibility of what he said instead of jumping in and start typing completely out of point because you hate him. Yes, he committed crime and should be ready to pay for it, no doubt.

This is how you and your ilk usually jump and take complete deviation from the crux of the matter and start screaming nonsense.
He did not confess. He said he was fighting for the legal compensation owed to the whistelblower who exposed the NDLEA. Meaning, he is the good one exposing corrupt NDLEA.
